OK, maybe I got too zealous with the notch filter for the Reps.  I aimed to bring it down 6 dB at ~2.2k Hz, using .47 mH and 10 uF against 10 Ohms for the notch, with the Reps itself at 7 Ohms.  Right now, drums are too backed off, there is no "hair"...

I confess that at one point I tried PM6As in 2.5 cu. ft. vented boxes.  Lousy, tipped-up balance and soggy, one-note "bass", contrary to the designer's claims.  The only thing good about it was that the box did not add c...

Romy, are these drivers going to wind up in the ceiling horns?  I currently use 15" Audax PR380M2 paper drivers in conservatively-tuned BR bins, X/O'd 3rd order at ~ 125 Hz. I do this because I need the gain with my current amp set-up. These drivers ...

Petar, I looked at the "custom" driver you posted the address for.  It is interesting to look at, all right, but I am not set up to build drivers from scratch.  Since I pretty much have to buy something that is either useable as-is or something that ...

IMO, any sonic benefits from running Lowthers stock are totally swamped by excessive, ragged response that is generally (but not steadily...) rising - a lot - toward HF.  There have been many ideas for "taming the Lowther", and here is another one, b...

Well, FWIW, my Audax LF units started life at ~100 dB and wound up closer to 96 dB to get ~40 Hz from them via  ~ 4.75 cu. ft. BR boxes.  Computer tuning was very close, only a strip of rubber weatherstripping in the vent opening between be...
